My Ride: 2008 M5
Finally My M5 is enroute....
Bought a 08' SMG with 91k on it, yes, yes I know, "Rod bearing, Vanos, etc...". I will be attacking the preventative maintenance in fall/winter when the weather turns. I am in N Dakota, so I don't plan to drive it from November-April-ish. I have a heated garage to keep her warm.
I think, based on my research (forum reading and speaking with BMW NA) I am going to switch oil to 5-40 when things start to cool down. I put very few miles a year, maybe 5k, max.
Anyway, car is enroute from Ohio and should be her Monday. It's about time, I can handle anymore lack of sleep
.
It has: heads-up, active/ventilated seats, soft-close doors, comfort access, and the other common options.

Use the Insert link icon on the toolbar to add pictures that have a URL. PM me if you're still having problems.

Tried to add off of my iPhone, no big deal, I will get some pics and post from my PC once the car arrives.
Not sure where your pictures reside but here's a FAQ on how to add images that reside on your computer:

My Ride: M5
Model Year: 2008
New M5
I have been ogling the 2006-2010 M5's for 12 years now. Almost pulled the trigger numerous times. I am happy to say I received my 2008 M5 three days ago! Its got 59K, gray outside black in w chrome trim. I like to think I am a fairly eloquent writer, however I only have one word describing this amazing machine, BEAST! I have driven Corvettes, mustangs etc in the past but this is the fastest and most exhilarating car I have ever driven! The handling, sound of the motor and raw power are ......beastly! Enjoy your new M, I am thoroughly enjoying mine.
